Document background
The Tour Consent Form is a critical document used in the Irish tourism industry to establish a clear legal framework between tour operators and participants. It is designed to comply with Irish tourism regulations, the Package Holidays and Travel Trade Act 1995, and relevant EU directives. This document should be used before any organized tour or activity to collect participant information, obtain informed consent, document risk acknowledgment, and establish liability parameters. The form includes vital sections covering personal details, medical information, emergency contacts, and data protection notices, serving as both a risk management tool and a legal record of participant consent. It's particularly important for adventure activities, educational tours, and any organized group travel within Ireland's jurisdiction.
